Brad Pitt Discusses Personal Life and Upcoming Film

Brad Pitt is preparing for the debut of his highly anticipated film 'F1', which has generated significant excitement among fans globally. However, the actor's personal life continues to attract media attention, particularly his recent comments regarding his divorce from Angelina Jolie. In an interview with a prominent magazine, Pitt shared his frustration over the public scrutiny of his private affairs, stating that he views his divorce as a minor issue.

He remarked, "My personal life has been a topic in the media for 30 years. Or at least some version of it. It's something I've had to manage, to varying degrees, while pursuing my passions. It can feel like a persistent distraction or a waste of time if you allow it to be."

On the subject of his divorce, he added, "I don’t see it as a significant event. It was just a legal matter coming to a close."

Pitt and Jolie finalized their divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year separation. The official paperwork was completed on December 30, with Jolie's attorney, James Simon, issuing a statement indicating that she is focused on achieving peace and healing for her family.

Simon noted, "Angelina filed for divorce over eight years ago. She and the children left the properties they shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then, her priority has been to find peace and healing for their family."

For context, Jolie initiated divorce proceedings in 2016, alleging that Pitt had been abusive towards her and their children. Although they were declared divorced in 2019, disputes over asset division and child custody prolonged the final settlement.
